RLX Gets Denser

Posted by Hemos on from the smaller-and-smaller-it-goes dept.

A reader writes: "There's story about RLX Technologies shrinking their "blades" server on Linuxgram." Knowing how much we pay for our "floor space" at the colo, the notion of having multiple blade machines is pretty cool - and shrinking this to a 1U form factor with 6 blade of the Transmeta Crusoe 5800 line of chip is pretty cool.

    Linux promised that Transmeta would deliver chips that were just as fast as Intel's, but used one-fourth the power. Instead, they delivered chips that were half as fast as Intel's, and used half the power. So many people lost money on TMTA, I really think that Linus should be investigated and held accountable for this.
